I think you are refering to the achievement "First Steps", right? You can still get it with the follwing steps: 1) Do a backup2) Delete items in the options menu3) Obtain some wood while playing the game. (You should now get the achievement)4) to get your old items back, restore items in the options menu

I hope this helps

If you need help, you can send me a PM. I will do my best to answer your questions

When the game was first released you were able to craft the craft book, using cow leather and paper to get the first step achievement. But this was removed because it ended up being too confusing for the newer players who had no idea how to play the game.
